Flights to Doi Angkang, Fang from NT$2,185

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Doi Angkang could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Doi Angkang, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
